And no matter what she told herself, she couldn't get it to stop. This wasn't her dad, no. Her dad was alive and well and doing who knows what kind of mad engineering on a different ship.
This was Jim's. This was Jane's mother in male form and he'd lost his whole world but knew he would have to grin and bear it because his family might just have made it out safe.
Only he doesn't know that. He has no idea that Jim and his mom made it away from the Narada alive.

Sammy might have been better at this. She had always been better at dealing with these things. No amount of diplomatic training taught you how to properly react to your dead parent from a different universe coming back to life.

"Jane Kirk," she answered weakly.
